Hijikata Toshizo's statue was unveiled at Mibudera Temple in Kyoto on Sunday, 16 July 2023, as part of the events held to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the Shinsengumi's foundation this year.

The large photo at the top came from Mibudera's Twitter account.

The photo bottom left is from Yahoo News and shows the statue's sculptor, Tanabe Shinichiro (right), and Hijikata Ai (left), a sixth generation descendant of Hijikata Toshizo's brother.

The center and right images are the proposed statue design and a draft of the statue and its pedestal.

The statue was made possible by crowdfunding donations from individuals, with larger contributions coming from Daimaru (formerly Dai-monjiya, the original maker of the Shinsengumi's haori), and Memefactory.

The Battle of Gettysburg 160th Anniversary

"In July 1863

A nation torn in tragedy

A trick of fate, two great armies merge

Gods of war at Gettysburg

Devastation lies ahead

50, 000 bodies litter the land

Hell rages three full days

The reaper sows, there's the devil to pay"

- The Devil to Pay, Iced Earth

*************************************

The Battle of Gettysburg:

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

----------------------------------------

The battle of Gettysburg is more than just a single battle. It was a series of engagements spanning three days. The events that occured during that fight could not be all told in ten art pieces alone. Stories such as the charge of the 1st Minnesota, the 137th New York's defense of the Union right flank, the fight at East Cavalry Field, and many other stories that happened during those three days were, sadly, not told here. However, it is my hope that this gave some awareness to the battle and the sacrifices made by the soldies who fought that day.

Special thanks to all those who were featured!

My ancestor Noah Crews was with Lawton’s Brigade 26th GA at Sharpsburg/aka Antietam. Quite possibly in the Cornfield. May we always remember this day Sept. 17, 1862. The bloodiest single day in American history. 160th Anniversary

At 10 P. M. of the 16th, Lawton's Brigade advanced from its position west of the Dunkard Church and relieved Wofford's Brigade of Hood's Division in the fields south of the Cornfield and east of the Hagerstown Pike. Skirmishers were thrown forward into the south edge of the Cornfield. In this position the Brigade was attacked at about 5:30 A. M. on the 17th by Seymour's Brigade of Meade's Division on the right and, at 6 A. M., by three Brigades of Doubleday's Division on the left. After losing its commander and more than one-half its members, it was relieved by Wofford's Brigade of Hood's Division and withdrawn to the woods southwest of the Dunkard Church and was not again engaged.

Out of curiosity, do you have any suggestions about anything or any place in Gettysburg that you think one have to do if one only have a short trip?

Gosh, yes, I have Opinions(TM). Here I'll do my best to put together a guide for a casual tourist who has limited time.

Let's start with the visitor center. There are pros and cons—I think the interpretation is decent, and it's clearly been updated within the last 5ish years. It's more middle of the road than I personally would like it to be, but it's a National Park so they're limited in what they can say. The museum does a good job talking about the experiences of civilians (including free Black people) before, during, and after the battle. They also have some new signs up around the town to talk about Black experiences.

Cons of the visitor center: I do not like the museum design. It's very text heavy, and I found myself getting fatigued trying to pay attention to everything. There was not enough seating, although I remember the the space being maneuverable for a wheelchair user. It's very dark and needs more lighting. They also have a lot of audio/video elements, and the sound design isn't good, so it bleeds into other areas of the space with several sounds overlapping.

Gettysburg Visitor Center Museum: take a quick walk through and pay attention to what interests you. Skip the cyclorama and the intro video. There are scheduled ranger talks that could be good but I haven't been to them.

Guided bus tour: save your money and skip it. I went because I was interested in how they would tell the story of the battle, but it's not necessary to get a good feeling of the action or to get information. The National Parks Service has a free app with narrated driving tours. Do that instead. Here's a map from the NPS.

Downtown Gettysburg: Very strange. Highly touristy, and almost every business has a battle-themed name. There are some cute local restaurants, but I wouldn't spend too much time there.

Sights to See: if you have a limited amount of time, here are the places I would most recommend visiting.

The National Cemetery. This is where Lincoln gave his Gettysburg address, which kicks off memorialization at Gettysburg and is part of what leads Gettysburg to become the center of Civil War memory making (this is stop 16 on the driving tour).

Eternal Light Peace Memorial. Not so much for the memorial itself, because it stands for the 'forgive and forget' model of remembering the Civil War, which neglects the experience of Black people during the war and Reconstruction. The park has put up signs discussing why this is problematic, and it does a good job discussing the issue. It also has a good view (stop 2 on the driving tour).

Devil's Den. It's iconic. It's a beautiful natural formation. There's something about that cluster of boulders that captures the imagination. It's a little out of the way from some of the other locations, but go if you can.

Little Round Top. LTR is currently closed for maintenence, but it should be open in 2024. It's a great place to get a view of the whole battlefield, and it's the site of Joshua Chamberlain's iconic bayonet charge (featured in Gettysburg the movie). Here's a NPS ranger giving a virtual tour. Here's a view from LRT, which also happens to be my computer background...

Gettysburg is beautiful, but the tourism industry has definitely left its mark. So much effort has gone into creating a very curated experience for visitors, but don't be afraid to do your own thing. Visit sites out of order. Go with what speaks to you. Remember to be respectful.

Shinsengumi selfie for the 160th anniversary. Soji's idea, obviously. Sannan is willing to humor him. An embarrassed Saito was talked into being in the shot. Kondo is being a dork, and Hijikata got distracted by him just as Soji took the picture.

Happy Keti Koti everyone, Switi Manspasi🇸🇷💛

Today marks the 160th anniversary of the abolishment of slavery on Suriname and the Antilles, or actually the 150th as most enslaved worked until 1873 as they couldn't go anywhere.

Battle of Gettysburg - Day 1

July 1

10:00 AM

I Corps Arrives at Gettysburg

"Forward, charge!" The Lieutenant Colonel ordered, and in response the 6th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment lurched forward. "Align on the colors! Close up on that color! Close up on that color!" Their commander shouted, as the stragglers from the broken 95th New York and 14th Brooklyn Regiments joined them. In one strong mass, they moved across the field and charged towards the unfinished railroad cut, where Davis' Brigade took cover.

At 10:00 in the moring, just as Buford's cavalry were buckling under the pressure of Confederate attacks, the 1st Division of the Union I Corps arrived at Gettysburg. Moving quickly from the south of town, the division's 2nd Brigade was the first to arrive in the scene, quickly deploying at McPherson's ridge, north of the Chambersburg Pike. However, just as they were relieving the cavalry troopers deployed there, Davis' Confederate brigade moved up and struck them hard. Caught in the middle of deploying their forces, they were unprepared to receive the attack and were soon fighting a desperate battle, as some regiments began to retreat.

Meanwhile, south of the Chambersburg Pike, the 1st Brigade, of the 1st Division, of the I Corps began to deploy. They were the famous Iron Brigade. Wearing their unique black Hardee campaign hats, they were easily recognizable. Deploying in front of Herbst woods, they soon saw Archer's Confederate Brigade marching out of it.

Upon seeing the Iron Brigade waiting for them outside the woods, one soldier from Archer's brigade remarked: "“Here are those damned black-hat fellers again… ’Tain’t no militia – that’s the Army of the Potomac!"

The Iron Brigade let loose a volley of musket fire against Archer's brigade and soon the two were engaged in heavy fighting, as the 2nd Brigade continued to struggle agaisnt Davis' brigade.

Moving up to the front to assist in the fighting, I Corps commander, Major General John Reynolds, moved behind the Iron Brigade, urging them forward. However, as he was doing this, a stray shot struck him. He soon fell, dead, leaving I Corps leaderless.

Despite the loss of their commander, the Iron Brigade were pressing hard against Archer's Confederate brigade. Soon the brigade was charging the Confederates, forcing them to retreat. During their retreat, the Iron Birgade managed to capture a great number of prisoners, including Brigader General Archer himself.

However, the fight was far from over, because of the right the 2nd Brigade collapsed under the pressure of Davis' Confederate brigade, leaving their right flank exposed. Quickly, the Iron Brigade began to swing right to face the new threat, as the 6th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which was held back by the Iron Birgade to act as a reserve, charged forward.

Struck by heavy musket fire, the regiments of Davis' brigade took cover in an unfinished railroad cut that ran parallel on the northern end of the Chambersburg Pike. However, while pinned in the cut, the troops of the 6th Wisconsin managed to outflank them and capture a good portion of the brigade.

By 12:00 noon most of the morning's fighting had subsided. There was now a lull, as fresh units from both sides began to arrive. For the Union, the rest of I Corps and XI Corps arrived to strengthen their defenses. For the Confederates, Pender's Division, of the Third Corps, arrived to join Heth's mauled division.

For the defense of Gettysburg, I Corps deployed on the west of town, while XI Corps moved north of town, ready to cover the roads there.

For two hours there was no fighting, aside from the occational artillery exchange from both sides. However, that would soon change, as another intense Confederate attack would strike, this time targeted at where I Corps and XI Corps met. Meanwhile, far to the north, a new force arrived, the Confederate Second Corps.

Featuring @whirlwindflux @flashmod and @a-spoonful-o-generosity as members of the famous Iron Brigade. All three wear the iconic black Hardee campaign hats, which was different from the blue forage cap worn by most Union troops.
